best position in the whole northwes
to found city.
Following are among the i'm
provements now in progress;
The $4,000 Odd Fellows Build
ing, corner of Front Avenue anC
Canyon Street, is we'll along in the
second story. 1t is being solidly
built of brick and stone, is 50x7C
and two stories high. The first
floor will be divided into two rooms
25x70 each, one to be occupied by
The Stock Growers & Traders Bank
and the other by Little & Blatchley
Druggists. Half of the second

resented among Caldwell's pleasant
homes. They like our schools as
well as business and social advan-
tages.
